It UN INTO COAL CARS.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—The St. l'aul express on the Chicago & Northwestern, which left the Wells street depot at 6:80 o'clock Sunday night, was wrecked one hour later between Harrington and Cary by colliding with three coal cars, said to havo been blown on the main track by a miniature cylone which was sweeping across the country. General Superintendent S. Sanborn was budly Injured, and Fireman J. McMahon was killed and two employes and two passengers were hurt.

The train was running fast and the signals showed a clear track. Suddenly the engiueer espied the ears on the track ahead of him and applied the air brakes. but he failed to check the momentum of his heavy train and it crashed into the obstruction with a terrrilio shock. The engine jumped the track, and was followed by the mail, express and buffet ears. Tho mail tipped eleau over, the express landing almost on top of it.

When Engineer Siunrns saw a collision was inevitable he jumped and escaped injury. J. Mc.Vahon, the lireman, stuck to the engine and was instantly killed. His body was taken from the wreck and left in the care of friends at Harrington. A. .1. Hliss is a Hour merchant from Boston, lie was in the buffet and was thrown across the car and his left leg broken above the knee. The fracture is a bad one and may cost him his leg. Thomas Ureen, the baggageman, was caught in the debris of his car and had his left leg broken and received a number of serious cuts about the head. Superintendent Sanborn had several ribs broken. recked in the IIOOMUC Funnel*

NOIM'II A HAMS, Mass., Sept. 10.—The most frightful disaster known in this vicinity took place on the L'itchburg road Saturday evening in the Hoosac tunnel a short distance east of the central shaft. I he accident was caused by a rear-end collision between caul-bound freight trains, and as near as can be ascertained happened about 1U:HII p. M. A freight train had stopped to repair on engine which had broken down, and about the same time a west-bound express train passed through the tunnel, tilling it with smoke. A second east-bound freight train was allowed to enter the tunnel, contrary to the rules of the road, and the engineer being unable on account of the dense smoke left by the passenger train to distinguish the lights of the train from the lights on the walls of the tunnel, a bad wreck was the result, both trains being badly damaged. The tunnel was blockaded and two men killed outright and three were seriously injured.

Operator llodkin. who was in charge of the signal lights at the east portal, is confined in the police station on the charge of criminal carelessness. \V. llodgkins, the west^portal operator, has also been placed under arrest. He claims he received the "U. lv." from the east end opeiator and consequently changed h's signal. 'I'cu I.lvcn liiiiHSKi.s, ept. 10.—Ten persons were killed and twenty injured by the wreck of the Paris and Cologne express train Minday. The accident happened nt Apilly and was caused by a collision of the express train with a freight which was being shunted. The engineer saw the danger ahead and reversed his engine. This hud the effect. of reducing the speed and rendering the accident less severe than it would otherwise have been. As it was, the wreck was a very disastrous one. A passenger on the train, who escaped with slight injury, says that the shock of the collision was tremendous. and that the forward cars were reduced almost to atoms. The bodies of the victims were badly mutilated, in some cases the head being severed from the trunk. It is reported that the station master at.

The engine, which was No. 573. was thrown to the left side, while the mail car was thrown to the right and the rest of the cars stayed on the track.

Towley, of the ill-fated train, and others in the train clnim that tho speed was not. fast, but that the stop was made partly by applying tho emergency air brake, which Miller accomplished before his engine went Into the ditch. Several on tho train received slight injuries.

ST. PAIL, Minn., Sept. 10.—Alarming rumors have been comiu/j in here to the effeet that forest fires are sweeping several eounties of northeastern Minnesota. The wires are already in a stale of demoralization, and south-bound trains due here Suuday evening ure delayed somewhere between Hinekley nnd Duluth.

Bulletins from St. Cloud and Hrainerd say that the town of Princeton, a village ot 500 inhabitants in Mille Lacs county, is in great danger and that Itanium. Carleton county, is surrounded by fire which is swept by such a terrific wind that the place has no chance of escape. Mora, Mille Laos county, was surrounded by fire during the afternoon and people ran for their lives. The. wind changed suddenly, however, at nightfall ami drove the flames in another direction. If tho wind changes again nothing can save the place. Soule's sawmill and lumber yard between Milieu and Princeton were totally destroyed. The little station of (tround House, near Mora, is in great danger. The wind was blowing a gale at this point at sundown and the worst is feared. The Duluth lire department is fighting fires in the outskirts of that city. Hinckley also seems to b1 again in trouble.

At lverriek the inhabitants put io the afternoon fighting the tires, but thought in the evening the danger was over. At Kimberly, on the Northern Pacific, only a large gang of railway laborers saved the town. There wasa state of terror among the refugees at Pine 'ity when the St. Paul «v buluth limited passed through, for it was feared another cyclone of lire was at hand. |-:iglit.V llndU'tf llimcd ut NUIMINUIMO, 11 IN('KLI*:Y, Minn..

There were no religion* services here Sunday, no clergymen being present, and a number of the people went to Pine City to attend the memorial services in that ciiv.

Five bodies were found Saturday night in a cellar on a hill just north of the Kettle river, and were burled where found. It is believed here that tho death list in Pine county will exceed MH) as something like wo are still unaccounted for, according to.Coroner Cowan's oflicial statement. li'lM l.lfc hi DitMKt't*.

ASHLAND, Wis.. Sept. 10.—Settlers around Marengo, which place was destroyed by the recent fires, have caused the arrest of Mike Koepler. charging him with having set the forest fire which swept, over that region last Saturday, destroying Marengo and Agncw. with a lossof eight liven. The prisoner was hustled oiT to Ashland and has been placed in the county jail here for safe keeping, as the feeling against, him among the homesteaders Is very bitter. Koepler came up for preliminary hearing late Saturday afternoon and was bound over to the circuit court by Judge Foster.

Gov. INHU'H Action CriOriseil. WEST STPKHI.OJI, Wis., Sept. 10,— Mayor Woodward and R. L. Melknap returned from New York and Sunday afternoon a meeting of the general relief committee for fire sufferers was held. One of the chief features of the meeting was the discussion of Gov. Peck's manifesto to the effect that no outside help is required for tire sulVerers so far as Wisconsin is concerned. The committee of this city, which Is acting without state lines, criticised the action of the governor n^d the opinion was expressed that he had acted without proper investigation into the requirements of the fire .sufferers. Mayor Woodward's action in calling for help outside the state was unanimously approved.

The Plattsville (Wis.) canning factory, which began operations two weeks ago. will probably hove to shut down on account of the damage to corn ami tomatoes, of which farmers in this section hail made a specialty for that concern. Hailstones fell with such velocity as to perforate tin roofs 11 over the city. The hail was accompanied by a severe wind and considerable rain swelling brooks to roaring torrents. Damage to crops will reach «.")0,000. iireat lumuK ut Itnrkford.
